What is a gp
Sorry this is such a dumb question to some of you. But I need to know????
Answer:G.P stands for 'general practitioner'. It's basically the doctor at your local health clinic. rather than specializing in say child's health, ear/nose and throat or eyes say, he is a general practitioner of everything. He/She may refer you to a specialist doctor for more tests.
Quite a stressful job as you must be an expert at all but master of none.
Hope this helps:-)

Depends - in the United Kingdom, a GP is a primary care physician ("General Practitioner") as opposed to a specialist.
In the US however, a GP is different from an FP (Family Practice) in that FP's complete a 3-year residency program after med school and then go on to take a rigorous series of examinations to be certified. A GP is a doc who after med school does a one-year internship, then goes out to practice. Very few docs do this anymore, and usually GP's are older physicians who graduated before residencies were established.
